Breh, teams change every damn season regardless of personnel changes or not. U should know this by now. I can give u tons of examples.
Teams change because they fail to achieve a goal, or because their personnel changes (and you change the scheme to fit the personnel).

Tampa Bay did neither of those. They not only won the SB, they won the SB on the back of their defense, so they literally have absolutely no reason to change the scheme.

In fact, that's probably the reason that Dallas was so prepared for their man coverage on the outside. Because they ran that all last season and in the playoffs, so Dallas had a ton of film to scout.

I guarantee you if you pull film of Tampa's defense in last year's playoffs and film from tonight that the schemes are almost identical.

People won't like this. But we should try and trade McGovern for a CB. His stock is going to be high after this game. We gotta get help in the secondary through a trade or trial by fire.

If we won't trade, we gotta bench Brown and see what we have in Nashon and Joseph. They can't be worse than Brown.

We suffer as an organization because we're too precious about guys with potential. Belichick, if he was our coach, would immediately tomorrow call teams and offer McGovern for a CB, because he would see that's an extreme weakness on this team.

And would see McGovern as a great asset to use to upgrade the CB position.

I would cut Brown just to light a fire under all the mediocre ass players on the team rn

We very well may lose 10-12 games but your ass will be unemployed while we do it:yeshrug:

I'm fine with trading McGovern, I think he's at his ceiling anyway

Nah. Our OL injuries killed our season last year.

Tell that to the teams that won the SB, didnt change much and ended up not the same. Trust that aint the same D that faced KC. Its week 1 and they havent gel yet as a team.

What I saw of Bossman in preseason is a player, that will need a year to get used to the NFL game. I know the experience of playing helped Diggs, and would help Bossman. But this is a playoff/title contender team, if we can fix the CB position.

If we could get GILMORE from the Patriots it would be a huge upgrade.

Yall gotta layoff ceedee breh


Yall act like the nikka did what Godwin did out there.


He had a drop on a bad pass by Dak

He had a drop that wouldve been like a 6 yd gain

He alligator armed a throw in between 3 defenders over the middle waiting to destroy him. 90% of receivers wouldve dropped that pass too.


He had a TD, and was clutch on that final drive to get us in position to tie it up.

The smoke needs to be directed to sorry ass Anthony Brown. shyt if we had Chido out there still, we probably win the game

I am just going by what I saw. All he needed was to catch one of those passes. But then again Greg the leg would have to make the field goal.

Dak garbage time argument single-handidly put to bed in 1 night. Was asked to carry the offense and did so amazingly. No running game at all, no Martin, and carved these dudes up effortlessly.


Hate that we loss, but this team looks like a contender based off the offense alone.
